​Ukrainian Security Service seeks to reach the crash site of the Malaysian MH17 flight to fabricate at least some evidence which will allow Kiev to conceal the true causes of the catastrophe from the world, said Russia’s Defense ministry.

“One cannot but feel angry about yet another attempt by the
Ukrainian security service chief to use absolutely groundless
allegations in a bid to persuade the public of alleged Russian
military involvement in the Boeing disaster in the skies over
Ukraine,” Defense Ministry official representative, Major
General Igor Konashenkov, said on Wednesday.

He referred to claims that were earlier made by Ukraine’s
National Security Service Head Valentin Nalivaychenko speaking on
Ukraine's Channel 5 about Kiev’s “full understanding” of
the causes of the Malaysian Boeing's crash.

Nalivaychenko claimed that Ukrainian investigators and
international experts now must visit the site of the crash only
to search for “what is still missing” to back the Kiev’s version
of events.

The fact that the Ukrainian security chief “fully”
understands the details of the crash surprised Konashenkov,
especially since the international commission’s investigation has
not yet established them. However, the so-called Ukrainian
investigators still have to find at least some evidence to
somehow support their “full knowledge,” he added.

The attempt made by Kiev to look for the “missing
evidence” to back up a version fabricated in advance
confirms the well-known popular wisdom – “an uneasy
conscience betrays itself,” said the General.

“I would like to recall that the commanders of the so-called
‘anti-terrorist’ operation in the southeast of Ukraine, including
Nalivaychenko himself, did their utmost to prevent an
international inquiry from visiting the site of the plane's
crash,” Konashenkov stated.

The Ukrainian troops launched a massive offensive against
militias near Torez – close to MH17 crash site – using multiple
rocket launchers Uragan, Grad and Smerch to eliminate the
existing material evidence, the General said.

He stressed that these military actions were taken contrary to
Kiev's official statements about the suspension of hostilities
and of course with Nalivaychenko in the know.

It seems that three months after the crash – upon completing the
investigation of the Odessa tragedy and fire that killed over 40
people and the Maidan events – the “impartial” Ukrainian
investigators found time to aid the international commission on
the MH17 crash, said Konashenkov.

“One can only wonder what prevented the Ukrainian leadership
throughout this period to reasonably share their ‘understanding’
[of the crash causes] with the international investigative
commission into the MH-17 accident?”

“Or at least to publicly answer questions about the
circumstances of the last minutes before the crash of the
Malaysian aircraft, which have been officially announced by the
Russian Defense Ministry?”

The spokesman of the Defense Ministry said he was confused that
Kiev’s probe is being carried out by Ukrainian security service’s
freshly-appointed investigators instead of experienced
professionals, as opposed to international norms.

“Of course, only such ‘professionals’, as Ukraine’s National
Security Service investigators can find – in the area plowed by
Ukrainian Grads and Uragans – the evidence sought by
Nalivaychenko, which, according to his plan, will help conceal
from the International Commission the true causes of the
tragedy,” the General concluded.

The Malaysia Airlines plane on route from Amsterdam to Kuala
Lumpur with 298 people aboard crashed in Ukraine's Donetsk region
on July 17. The majority of those on the plane – which was
allegedly shot down – were citizens of the Netherlands.

The preliminary report on the Malaysian jet crash made by the
international team headed by Dutch experts in September only
confirmed that the plane was shot down. Following the report,
Russia’s UN envoy, Vitaly Churkin, said that with so many blank
spots it “did little to advance our understanding of what
happened.”
